17 Dead in Shooting at Florida High School

It seems all too often that we turn on the TV these days only to see that someone has shot up a school, or business, or home, or movie theatre. It's fucking sad that world we live in.

Today... a 19 year old male arrived at his old high school, one in which he had been expelled from, and shot and killed 17 people and injured many more (hopefully this number does not rise). He planned this. He went into the freshman building, pulled the fire alarm, waiting until the hallways were filled with students making their way to the exits, and opened fired on those innocent lives. It is unsure if it was all students who were killed or if there were staff members in that number.

It doesn't fucking matter if it was all students or if there was staff killed or injured.... the fact is these people went to school/work today, Valentine's Day, first day of Lent, and did expect to not be heading home tonight.

Lives of every student at that campus today were changed. Lives of every staff member at the school was changed today. Parents lives changed today. Friends lives changed today. First responders lives have changed today. Our nation has changed today... and it changes all too often.

As I sit here listening to politicians talking about gun control and background checks for guns.... if they government tells someone they can't have a gun they will just get it from somewhere else. There is something called a 'black market'. People can get guns in many different ways. Gun Control is not going to be a huge help in this. I know a shit ton of people will argue with this comment but you know what... I don't care.

I hate knowing that kids are going to school today and having 'active shooter drills' as often as they eat lunch. It's fucking disgusting.

I have not brought a child into this world... and frankly I will go my entire life without having children if this is what they are going to have to live through for 13 years of the educational career.

Fuck this world we live in!

Prayers for those who were affected by the tragedy in Parkland, Florida today!
